Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by his experiences in the Guatemalan jungle, Roy Montgomery's 'Temple IV' is a deeply mysterious, entirely instrumental masterpiece of ambient post-rock. Montgomery layers repetitive, heavily reverberated guitar drones to construct a highly hypnotic, ethereal, and profoundly lonely psychedelic atmosphere.
